rsyslog/rsyslog¶

The general-purpose image builds on rsyslog-minimal and adds commonly used modules such as imhttp and omhttp. Use it when you need a ready-to-run rsyslog with HTTP ingestion or forwarding capabilities.

Runtime Notes¶

Like rsyslog/rsyslog-minimal, this image runs as syslog:adm by default. That fits the packaged general-purpose role because the shipped configuration does not bind privileged ports.

Environment Variables¶

The same entrypoint variables as the minimal image are available:

RSYSLOG_HOSTNAME: Hostname used inside rsyslog. Defaults to the value of /etc/hostname when unset.

PERMIT_UNCLEAN_START: Skip configuration validation when set. By default rsyslogd -N1 validates the configuration.

RSYSLOG_ROLE: Role name consumed by the entrypoint. Defaults to standard.
